Hi Nick,
These RPM�S where in use when i had the problem.
NOTICE the server package not installed. ( this was my _big_ hint as the
XFree86-4.3-8.4.91mdk
XFree86-libs-4.3-5mdk
XFree86-xfs-4.3-5mdk
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-5mdk
XFree86-devel-4.3-5mdk
the line you sent me ....
rpm -qa xfree|grep -i displayed the updates of xfree.
the packages shown below are updates that i installed on saturday Jan 3rd
2004.
bash-2.05b$ rpm -qa|grep -i xfree
XFree86-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---------- Had replaced the revious package
version unknown to me now.
XFree86-devel-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---- installed last Saturday.
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---- installed last Saturday.
XFree86-server-4.3-8.4.91mdk <-- was XFree86-server-4.3-5mdk.rpm on
dec 22 2003
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---- installed last Saturday.
XFree86-libs-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---- installed last Saturday.
XFree86-xfs-4.3-8.4.91mdk<---- installed last Saturday.
The first package in the list was the one i had installed first of about Dec
22 2003. On Dec 26 2003 is when i next started the PC up and i started
getting the exevue errorno 2 occur upon typing startx at the console.
The thing i found out was that by typing rpm -q XFree86 or rpm -q XFree86* was
the reply XFree86-server-4.3-5mdk is not installed.
what caused it to be uninstalled ????
*******************************************
I believe it was just luck and experimentation after getting the server rpm
d/l via windows that i was able to install the server again.
Then to find updates for the other xfree components to the same release state
I updated everything (note i had for what ever reason the KDE become unstable
on me on friday night - Jan 2nd 2004).
hope the information is more.
dave.
